Once all the corks are in place, use scissors to trim off any excess felt along the edges. This will give a clean finish and prevent uneven edges.

Now, use hot glue to attach the thick cotton cord to the outer edge of the corks. Continue wrapping the cord in several rows until the entire edge is covered.

In the final round, leave a 40 cm piece of rope as a hanger and skip two sides of the hexagon, then continue gluing. Finally, fill the remaining space with a short piece of rope.
